Title: New pics of my lot - lots of them!!
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 23, 2008, 13:10:07 PM
Photobucket is finally working, so be prepared for lots of pics!! I dont have a cat younger than 8 in my house at the moment, fingers crossed I can persuade peopel to take on older cats.

First of all, we have to have Miss Molly - this was taken the afternoon after she went to the vets!!

Then we have Zia, who is proving why I am not allowed to make the bed!!

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/booktigger/PICT0845.jpg)

Then Rolo, he got bought a new toy last week, so here he is showing it off.

Then Moses, being pretty and also enjoying a toy

Rosie next, not got a lot of her, as she doesn't do a lot!!

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/booktigger/rosiesitting.jpg)

And the latest 'inmate', Hobo, who is a lovely boy

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/booktigger/hobostanding.jpg)

And here he is, proving why he didn't have to go back to his room last night, never known Rolo to allow this (first time I have ever done this!!).

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b45/booktigger/boys2.jpg)

and I can't resist posting this from last weekend - they were 5 weeks old, but apparently look more like 3 week olds

Hopefully, as I think I know what was stopping it working. I have taken a pic of Rosie since I posted these, but being too lazy to upload it!!

Des they are beautiful.  You certainly have your hands full.  Especially like the one of Rolo
Title: Re: New pics of my lot - lots of them!!
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 23, 2008, 14:30:10 PM
They are, and I certainly do!! Bit easier now they are out of isolation, although Rosie doesn't like to leave the bathroom. Moses is pinching Zi's food (hers obviously isn't good enough!!), and Hobo is enjoying the catnip mouse that Rolo wont touch. I thought you might like Rolo's pics.

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 23, 2008, 15:36:15 PM
If CC will ever let me, Rolo is going on the TopCats page this week - he has sprayed 3 times this week, all in places he has never done before. I am impressed he let Hobo sleep so close to him though.
Rosie is very quiet, she just sleeps all the time, Zi is 2 years older and has more life in her!!
I will have to get some taken tonight, I am off all week.

Awww, lovely piccies Desley, they are are adorable.

I love the first photo of Molly  :Luv: :Luv:

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 23, 2008, 16:07:29 PM
i love Miss Molly too. I sometimes wonder if the vet got Rolo's age wrong, as he does act like a kitten, but the rescues vet just took one look and said 'he is definitely an older man' - but that was while his condition was still poor (we dont know how long he was stray for), at times I can see that he is a more mature cat by his eyes.

Beautiful, every single one of them.  Looking at the pictures, I have the softest spot for Hobo (no idea why).

That Rolo looks so ferocious with his toy.  Hobo looks like my Dragan.  They are all lovely Des but you know I have a soft spot or two for Rolo and love to hear of his antics.  If he does get rehomed I so hope they will keep us updated on him.

Oh my Des, Molly is gorgeous, just how a black cat should be  :Luv: I would a pure black, my Ollie is actually chestnut.

And Moses is lovely too.  :)

I love that pic of Molly too - despite being 15, she hasn't lost any of her shine or colour.
hobo is a darling Christine, he likes to be with you, although was sick overnight, bless him.
I hope none of them are waiting too long, and fingers crossed we can find owners who will join here
There are more pics to come when I get chance to upload them!!

They are fab pics Desley, Thanks for sharing!

Rolo is an old man you can tell, but it catches you out when he frolics round like a kitten!

Fingers and paws crossed for all of them who a looking for a forever home!

Thanks Nic - I do wonder if the vet is right about his age, you can see in his eyes he isn't young, but whether as old as 10, I am never sure.
Ellie - Moses is a girl - despite her name (I dont like it!!)

Post by: Garfield&Gypsy on March 25, 2008, 13:31:38 PM
Why don't you call Moses 'Missy' instead it's not too different - at least it's a little more femine and then people won't get confused as to whether she's male or female.

It's like trying to introduce a lady called John to someone! either they had clueless parents or they have gender issues?!?!  ;)
Title: Re: New pics of my lot - lots of them!!
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 25, 2008, 17:13:53 PM
I did try and change it to Meg as I kept trying to call her that, but she didn't respond and she has had her name for 8 years now.
Rolo has proved today that if he is 10, he is stupid - I got them a new fleecy bed from Netto, and I was cutting it up, and he tried to play with the scissors - both with his teeth and claws. And then attacked my hand, so I was bleeding. Then walked outside and eyed up my neighbours open car boot. Silly boy that he is. I do have some good pics of him playing with his scratch post though.

Ooooops I am so sorry Moses  :-[ Still think she is gorgeous, even with a male sounding name (I don't like it either)  :Luv2:

Apology accepted Ellie, lots of people think that with her name.

Your Molly is a stunner! Definately Queen of the Roost!  :evillaugh:

Rolo is as charming as ever, Hubby keeps asking if he's found a home yet, we'd have him if he wasn't so aggressive with other cats. Rolo settled on hubbys chest whilst we were at Desley's collecting Gypsy and he's been besotted since.

So Glad Hobo managed to find a good home Desley!
Rosie looks like a little sweetie pity she won't socialise a bit more though, it can't be good instisting in staying in the bathroom. Keep us posted on her.  ;)

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on April 10, 2008, 07:56:25 AM
She is, I love her to bits - she has been told she can't go anywhere anytime soon!!

Not sure about charming, he has been a bit growly this week!! A lot of people love him, but sadly they are all people who can't have him. He is such a wonderful cat, my house is going to be weird without him.

Me too, I did speak to his new owners this week, the introductions aren't going too bad, so he wont be comign back!!

She is - the pics of her standing up must be on the 'Poor Rosie' thread. Will do.

Thanks, Rolo is a darling, I love him to bits, as I do my Miss Molly.
I hope so too Sheli, I do have someone coming next week who isn't bothered by their ages, so fingers crossed for one of them, they have both been waiting so long. Rosie is living her life out here.
